Editing Horned Rat (section)

== End Times ==
In [[The End Times|the End Times]], the Horned Rat plays a major role in ''Thanquol.'' He speaks directly to the Council of Thirteen and politely tells them to cut all the shit and stop fighting each other; after all the Warhammer World is ripe for the taking and the Horned Rat wants the Skaven to conquer it, as a unified race. To emphasize this, he incinerates the current Grey Seer and replaces him with... [[Thanquol]]. Yes, ''that'' Thanquol. The drugged up failure of a rat, [[Abaddon|so incomprehensibly incompetent]] that he could only function as "that one guy who tries to be evil and cool but fucks up all the time because of how fucking stupid he is." Although, of course, he makes an easy pawn for the Vermin King.

Anyway, for the first time in history, the [[Skaven]] are truly united and rise to the surface in the millions at the command of the Horned Rat. They then take the role of the [[Tyranids]] by infesting/invading [[Estalia]] (olé-olé!), [[Tilea]] (Rome burns, yes-yes), the Border Princes, Araby (Horned Rat akbar-akbar!), the Kingdom of Ind (dravani, dravani!), the Southlands, [[Lustria]] (meteor-induced dinosaur extinction!), [[Bretonnia]] (c'est terrible!), [[Naggaroth]] (though all they did was helped destroy one city), Nuln, Nippon (Horned Senpai notice me!), Karaz Eight Peaks, Cathay (though Cathay was triple-teamed by them, the followers of Chaos and the Orcs, though the Cathayans managed to wipe out the Skaven in their lands and fled on boats on their own terms)... Actually, let's just say the only nations they didn't wipe out, heavily damage, or at least do harm to were:
* [[Ulthuan]] (because the Elves already fucked it up pretty badly as-is, in addition to being unable to reach a seaborne island by tunneling underground)
* Nehekhara (because Nagash and co. got there first and worked it over. Also Skaven are gluttinous cowards and a desert full of undead armies that will kill them on sight is too desolate and scary for them. To be fair, they did send an assassin to Prince Apophas to point out the Destroyer of Eternities as a means to kill Nagash. Apophas even managed to stab him with it but at that point Nagash had reached godhood so it was as dangerous to him as a back scratcher.)
* [[Athel Loren]] (because magic shenanigans).

And then they blow up [[Morrslieb]], which is both fucking [[Awesome]] and incredibly stupid, since the Warhammer World would have been destroyed by the resultant meteors (which it would have been if not for the [[Slann]] managing to stop most of the meteors from colliding)(wrong wrong manthings, plan was to destroy surface empires all along, with skavendom safe-secure underground).

The Horned Rat, however, had to admit that, even with such successes, the Skaven still wouldn't be able to defeat the forces of the [[Chaos Gods]], and so he makes a deal, through Thanquol, with [[Archaon]]. Their contribution to the forces of Chaos is a force under the command of Ikit Claw tunneling into Nagash's Black Pyramid (airlifted from Nehekhara's ruins to Sylvania) while the undead are fighting the forces of Nurgle and traitor undead and blowing it up with Warpstone nukes.

The Horned Rat moved Skavenblight into his Realm of Ruin, as the physical world was destroyed by Archaon & Co, later becoming part of the Realm of Chaos when Slaanesh disappeared.
